This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 752: Chapter 521: The Mushroom Prophet

"Evil Mushroom Kingdom’s capital? Mushroom Prophet?"

"What the heck is that?"

Wu Guinan mused, hands behind his head.

The village chief gave them an idea on how to leave the Mushroom Realm.

That was to go to the capital of the Evil Mushroom Kingdom and find the sole Mushroom Prophet of the kingdom, they figured it might know a way to send them back.

The problem was, where is the capital, where is the prophet, and even if found, would they be able to meet it smoothly, these were all unknowns.

"Stop complaining, we don’t have any other choice right now."

Li Pu sighed helplessly.

"That’s right, if we don’t hurry up, who knows when we’ll get back."

Long Ren said with a serious expression.

"Ahhh, what if the semester ends and we’re still stuck here."

Qian Shanshan fretted at the thought of missing several monthly exams and missing out on Points.

"We should be finding a map to head to the capital."

Chang Shoushang suggested.

Though they planned to take "number 2" to fly to the capital, crossing many obstacles along the way, having a map in hand was still essential.

Everyone agreed with this idea unanimously.

Just across from the village chief’s house, there was a general store, so Li Pu led the way.

"Welcome, humans!"

"This is the only shop in the village, whatever you want, we have it all."

"Mushroom-da-da~"

A mushroom man with a two-stroke mustache enthusiastically hosted them.

It had already heard about the humans’ arrival from the villagers.

If it didn’t rip them off right now, it would be failing its reputation as a mushroom merchant.

"Boss, I need your most comprehensive map."

Li Pu thought for a moment and took out a lump of Crystal Coins.

"Okay, that’ll be a hundred... What the heck is this junk!"

The mushroom merchant glanced at the Crystal Coins and tossed them back.

"You outsiders think you can fool me with shiny rocks? Mushroom-da!"

It seemed very offended, feeling insulted.

"Uh..." x5

With that reminder, everyone remembered they were in another world, and Crystal Coins were apparently useless here.

"Boss, what kind of currency do you take here?"

Qian Shanshan asked.

"Of course, Mushroom Coins~ Mushroom-da~"

The mushroom merchant took out a mushroom-shaped currency, made of crystal.

"It looks just like a mushroom version of Crystal Coins."

"Isn’t this also a shiny rock?"

Wu Guinan and Long Ren couldn’t help but mutter.

"It’s different, totally different, Mushroom-da!"

The mushroom merchant refused to acknowledge the similarity.

"Boss, do you accept goods in exchange?"

Since the merchant didn’t acknowledge the similarity, Li Pu proposed bartering, and after thinking it over, the mushroom merchant agreed.

Yet the various materials and even artifacts they offered were seen as worthless junk by the mushroom merchant, not even worth a single coin.

As for the Cube Cards, this mushroom merchant didn’t accept them either.

Actually, it wasn’t about refusing them, but rather, the card rules in the Mushroom Realm were different and not tradable.

This left Li Pu and the others feeling stuck.

They were in an unfamiliar place, didn’t know the way, and empty-pocketed.

"At times like this, we can only sell our labor..."

Chang Shoushang said calmly.

Mere labor meant nothing to him, considering how many things he’d sold in the medical department before.

"That’s a pretty nice idea, Mushroom-da-da!"

Upon hearing this, the mushroom merchant immediately expressed agreement.

"There’s a delicious food called Bean Paste Capsule on the mountain 50 kilometers behind the village."

"If you can bring it back, I’ll give you, um... a map plus 50 Mushroom Coins!"

"Mushroom-da-da!"

Its eyes flickered with excitement while introducing the deal.

"Beyond 50 kilometers is still called ’behind the mountain’?"

Wu Guinan highlighted the absurdity.

"Deal."

Li Pu agreed swiftly.

A world ruled by mushroom people probably wouldn’t hold much danger.

"But we don’t really know which direction the mountain is."

"Could you give us a map to help find it?"

Li Pu asked.

"No problem, Mushroom-da-da."

The mushroom merchant pulled a map from a stack on the counter and handed it over.

Everyone: "..." x4

Thus, being watched by the mushroom merchant, they left the village.

"Um... we have the map now, do we still need to gather the Bean Paste Capsules?"

Wu Guinan hesitated slightly.

"These mushroom people are too easy to deceive."

Long Ren couldn’t comprehend.

"Let’s go check it out, 50 kilometers isn’t really far anyway."

Li Pu shrugged.

Since they had made a promise, it was better to keep it.

He had just casually tested the mushrooms’ intelligence earlier, which seemed rather touching.

With the map in hand, they took "number 2" to quickly reach what’s known as the back mountain described by the mushroom merchant.

It was a huge mountain, dense with forests.

According to the mushroom merchant’s detailed explanation, Bean Paste Capsule spores look like buns.

They grew randomly on the mountain, but since trees blocked the view, aerial reconnaissance wasn’t possible, so they had to walk and climb the mountain instead.

"The mushroom boss mentioned that dangerous beasts roam the mountain, though we’re not sure what kind."

Chang Shoushang cautiously brought up the rear.

"Probably nothing to fear."

Li Pu had already spotted signs of beastly inhabitants.
